The Wooden Award. The Naismith Trophy. The Associated Press College Basketball Player of the Year award. The Oscar Robertson Trophy. The Adolph Rupp Trophy.
KU big man gets votes of confidence
By Tom Keegan
February 12, 2012
It’s inaccurate to say that nothing can boost the confidence of a college basketball player coming off a scoreless game in a tough loss more than a 25-point road outburst against the nation’s sixth-ranked team.
1952 champs return to KU
By Tom Keegan

The 1952 Kansas national championship basketball team gathered Friday night at Bill Hougland’s house, the back of which overlooks the 17th green at Lawrence Country Club.
Jeremy Case digs aide gig

Had this been Jeremy Case’s senior year, he probably would be averaging at least 20 minutes a game as the Kansas University basketball team’s third guard. In his day, he warmed the bench, but expresses no regrets. The national-championship ring he won in 2008 comes in handy.
Defense polarizes programs

As I watched both teams on the same court for the second time this season Wednesday night, a light flickered in a normally very dark place — my brain — and it became plain to see why Kansas keeps beating Baylor, even though the Bears win so many recruiting battles. The Jayhawks make it no fun to play against them. They plant themselves in your face and stay there. The Bears have so many good basketball players, but nothing about them makes Kansas dread playing them.
Styles of Self, Drew differ

Kansas and Baylor — two of three schools that, along with Missouri, headed into the week with a share of first place in the Big 12 basketball standings — illustrate that not all programs in the top 10 in the national rankings take the same path.
Tyshawn Taylor tries to shoulder blame
By Tom Keegan
February 5, 2012
The other guys score the last 11 points of the game and beat your guys, and you want to scream at somebody. That’s understandable. But when it’s Tyshawn Taylor you want to scream at, that’s where it gets a whole lot tougher to comprehend.
MU proof numbers mislead

One particular number on the Missouri stat sheet illustrates just how powerfully basketball numbers mislead.
Mizzou fan antics don’t rile Robinson
By Tom Keegan
February 3, 2012
So, did the Antlers, the maniacal Missouri students famous for unearthing the guarded phone numbers of Kansas University basketball players, get their hands on Thomas Robinson’s digits?
Now Jayhawks can focus on Missouri
By Tom Keegan
February 2, 2012
In a second half of non-stop, good old-fashioned Kansas University basketball dominance Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks did a nice job of scratching another victory against Oklahoma off the schedule and not looking past the Sooners.
Delayed Big 12 schedule keeps fans, schools guessing
By Tom Keegan
February 1, 2012
The office phone of Kansas University athletic administrator Larry Keating rings, and visions of a thick, buttery slice of wedding cake, airborne rice, Adam Sandler on the microphone, a beaming bride walking down the aisle — her father on her arm, orange blossoms in her hands — begin to dance in Keating’s head, by now a Pavlovian response after almost nine years on the job.
Track stars have more than hyphens in common

Anybody concerned that Alexa Harmon-Thomas might be putting too much on herself by participating in both track and field and soccer in the spring for Free State High needs to listen to Alexa’s idol talk about her teenage years.
Road test exposes Kansas’ thin bench

It sure is nice to have a quality bench when the need arises.
ISU will challenge Jeff Withey
By Tom Keegan
January 27, 2012
In sports, when something is as important to its fan base as the Kansas University basketball team is to its followers, conclusions tend to be reached quickly. The memory of Jeff Withey missing a few wide-open 15-footers in the first half of the Jan. 14 game against Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse has rooted so deeply and replayed so many times in some brains that the 7-foot center is struggling with his jump shot.
Kansas women on track for tourney appearance
By Tom Keegan
January 26, 2012
Even without sophomore scoring sensation Keena Mays, who quit the team after her hottest stretch of games, and even without Asia Boyd, the highest-ranked recruit of the Bonnie Henrickson era, getting meaningful minutes, the Kansas University women’s basketball team has what it takes to get to the NCAA Tournament.
